Nothing like oil?



Is there any SF, especially recent SF, set in a mid-future (200-500
years out or so) in which the fossil fuels have been used up, and no
really satisfactory substitute[1] was found to replace them? I
suppose that would be post-apocalyptic steampunk of a sort...

[1] A satisfactory substitute would have an EROI of at least 10 to 1,
a portable high-energy-density form usable for things like high-speed
air transport, no catastrophic environmental side-effects, and an
availability and economic cost to produce that would make most or all
of the current economy still feasible.
